WinMX Questions and Answers

[Imagenyuss]

If anyone has or is having any trouble what-so-ever with their winMX (wether it be configuring or trying to share) please ask it here. If I can't answer your question I'll direct you to a place that will.
I've heard all the questions before, so don't feel stupid or be afraid I'll call you a kn0bie. I like knobies. Bring on the questions.

Win mx is the only network i can find space above and beyond the TV series yet i can never seem to get it to d/l allways appears in red or queing, how do i do it ????
And whats the thing with connection type primary or secondary how do i change- your talking to a novice when it comes to fiddling with settings but i have to start somewhere :)

you change the primary or secondary connect at the 'networks' tab. I recomend using secondary until you get a better feel for the program.
Primary and secondary connections won't get you faster downloads or bumped up in queue; generally the only difference is that primary users tend to get a little better search results than secondary, but it's not extremely significant.
The queue thing: set the auto find resources to every fifteen minutes, and the auto enter queue (aeq) to 20-30. let it go over night. If that doesn't work, up the aeq until it is connecting to people. Sometimes that queues lag out, sometimes users log off don't worry about that. I've never really had any problems getting a file if I waited long enough for it. Let winMX do it's magic while you sleep. Don't sit in front of the comp and let the queues that are hitting the 100 mark stress you out. The queue system works; you will download when your turn comes around.

btw: when your in queue it means that there are people in line in front of you for that particular person, not necessarily for that file. If that person you're trying to get those shows from has a million mp3s and a couple of the space and beyond deals, and you're 30th in queue, you will have to wait until those 30 people are finished downloading whatever they're trying to get first.
